The morning after the Sox won their third World Series in 10 seasons, some said Boston feels different.

"I see in the people just walking down the street, it's a magical feeling," said Red Sox fan Audrey Jerome.

Jerome stopped by Fenway to take some pictures for her grandfather.

"Sports bring out something in a city that nothing else does," she said. "I feel like it brings people together."

"Unbelievable. Unbelievable," said Red Sox fan Jose Centino. "The city deserves it. We deserve it for everything that happened. We started from the bottom, and now we are here -- 2013 World Series champs."

Centino said he also believes that the championship helped unite the city after the Boston Marathon bombing in the spring.

While the streets outside Fenway on Thursday morning were largely deserted, evidence of Wednesday night's huge crowds could be seen in the empty shelves of the souvenir shop across from the park.

"We just got some caps, but they sold out of T-shirts, so we're coming back later," said fan Anna Baddeley.

Baddeley and Marc Abrahms were visiting from England. The said their hotel overlooks Fenway Park, so they had to come down and check things out. Abrahms said he hopes some of the Red Sox magic rubs off on another team.

"I support Liverpool Football Club, which the owners here own as well, so I'm interested to see Fenway Park and see what they've done with it and hoping they can do the same with my team back home," he said.

Red Sox fan Michael Hamlin said he and his family are trying to hold onto the special feeling of a World Series victory.

"It was awesome," Hamlin said. "I don't know if we'll ever see it again in our lifetime. I would describe it as epic."

"I think it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see them clinch it and bring my 10-year-old son," said Allison Hamlin. "I couldn't have asked for anything more."

Many fans said the thing they liked most about the team was that they were fighters who never gave up, embodying the spirit of Boston.
